6 NFL Teams to Not Make the Playoffs: 100 point contest

[Ian]

Machba looked like the winner before the midway point. He picked teams that won’t even finish with winning records let alone winning a division or making the playoffs. Great picks. It is much harder than it looks. Cincinnati burned most of us and they went from worst to first. So it wasn’t a bad pick. If any of the other AFC North teams play just at expectations the Bengals don’t make the playoffs.

Maybe it's sour grapes on my part, but I'm slightly shocked at the Bengals winning the AFC North. Football outsiders has them as an average team by their analytics. It took all three other division teams collapsing/getting hurt and a bunch of close victories against an easy schedule for them to do it. I guess this goes to show the value of not picking the same teams as everybody else.

The AFC North played out exactly how I thought it would. I thought all of the teams would be about 8-10 wins. I just did not think there would be more than one team to make the playoffs from the North. And it won’t be. Its just that Cincinnati played the most explosive offensively in a grind it out division. The Bengals could change this division like Big Ben did 18 years ago. The best teams will have to throw it to win vs being the toughest in the trenches. The division today looks like it did when Big Ben came into the NFL. A lot of running the ball and stiff defense. Cincinnati blew out Baltimore twice through the air. Pittsburgh and Cleveland couldn’t score 20+ consistently. I don’t think many saw this sea of change.

I don’t feel so bad now about the Bengals winning the division. They are playing in the Super Bowl and it doesn’t look like a fluke.

I'm stubborn. On Rams moneyline.

Don’t let emotions get in the way of making money. I wouldn’t be surprised if Bengals won the game.

I wouldn't be surprised either. Anything can happen in one game, but...

the analytics rankings I have looked at see this as a mismatch, the Rams are at home, and I think the Rams pass rush will dominate the Bengals O-line.

We'll see...

Titans thought the same.

The Rams are drastically better than the Titans. I don't know of any analytics sites that would claim the Titans are better.

Did they play this year? Have a head to head to see who is best no analytics just a score!! I know what they should do, use analytics to see who wins SB and not play it

Tennessee went into SoFi and beat the Rams 28-16 on November 7th, 2021. Analytics may say differently. On the field Tennessee wasn’t having it and rag dolled the Rams.
